- 5. Why do we care about shellfish? The links between industry, academia and conservation are obvious for shellfish; they indicate sustainable coastal communities. When we lose shellfish and shellfish industries, it is a sure sign that environmental degradation threatens the very essence of coastal communities with their strong sense of place and the sustainable use of its resources. Michael W. Beck, Ph.D. Senior Scientist, The Nature Conservancy, Global Marine Initiative, Letter of Support to CSR Deep Bay Oct .2008
- 6. What motivates us – thinking globally • How will we feed a world destined for 10 billion people? • More than 85% of global fish stocks fully or over exploited • We require 80 MMT or another global ocean by 2030 for future population estimates. • Aquaculture now 50% of all seafood consumed - must double 53% • How do we meet this demand sustainably? 32% • Will this create opportunities for coastal BC? 12% 3%
- 7. What motivates us – thinking locally • Supporting change from resource “extraction” economies to “knowledge based” green resource economy • Supporting the 100+ year shellfish farming industry • Opportunities for First Nations • Promoting industry sustainability • Environmental • Economic • Social • Preserving marine ecosystems
- 8. Shellfish Farming: Clean and Green (and blue) • Shellfish farming requires clean water and healthy marine ecosystems • Being green is not an option but a necessity. • Shellfish farming endorsed by all seafood sustainability programs
- 9. Aquaculture, the blue revolution? • Sustainable Aquaculture – the Green, Blue Revolution Sustainable aquaculture can: 1. Green the planet 2. Feed the planet and meet the seafood necessity 3.

- During the design development process an energy analysis was conducted to determine the predicted energy efficiency. A reference building based on the requirements of Natural Resources Canada’s (former) Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) was used to compare to various design options. The final design anticipates that GHG emissions are estimated to be 54.6 tonnes/year, a 15.5 tonnes/year (22%) reduction compared to the baseline building design (70.1 tonnes/year). The current building design is expected to provide a decrease in annual electricity use by 44 MWh/year ($2700 annually, a reduction of more than 75%).
